The CGA project requirements were identified by team members of the Office of Naval Research's Future Naval Capabilities HFIP program working under the guidance of Lew Gutman. The HFIP program successfully deploys the IP network protocol over existing naval High Frequency (HF) radios. HF radios have transmission characteristics that can cause applications that demand high bandwidth pipes to suffer from transmission latencies. Specifically, C2PC, one of the main C4I systems in use by both the Navy and Marine Corps, utilizes a network architecture that doesn't perform well over low-bandwidth/high-latency networks. Accordingly, for C2PC nodes to work well over the HFIP network, an acceleration mechanism for C2PC's VDX protocol was needed.
The CGA project was launched in April 2005. The first release candidate entered testing in October 2005. CGA was completed in April 2006. Since then it has been undergoing additional testing at SSC San Diego. CGA passed the Trident Warrior 06 LOE and will appear in the upcoming Trident Warrior 06.
